(Elass l tstory AR BACK in the September of ' 35, there converged on the Heights { from hill and dale, from harbor and hamlet, from tent and tene- W ment, from peach fuzz to five o ' clock shadow, a frosh class that m- ( augurated a new scholastic system, new social events, a new dean and a new spirit. ,. r, i We met amidst gothic splendor, beneath the soundmg Tower where our boyish laughter was suppressed with a gulp at the approach of some lofty looking senior. Weighed down with books including that portable library m one volume, the Snyder and Martin , we began our year m real freshman style with a further purchase of a bow tie, a battered hat and turned up white shoes, after the fashion of Joe College . Recovering from the surprising shock of being addressed as Mister, we bought up the razor blade market and proceeded to weather the rigors ot the new A.B. Honors Course, mind you, with Greek. . tt- i c i i Father Archdeacon, S.J., had just dropped in from Regis High School, New York and to him was entrusted the fate of so gallant and so promising a band of almost 500. Early in the fall, the greatest freshman day program in the historv of Boston College or of any college was begun. An undeteated football team met Holy Cross frosh and was deadlocked to a 6 to 6 tie. Un the same evening Cambridge officials were startled by an advancing horde of iubilant B.C. frosh, who were crossing the boundaries m perfect attend- ance to a dinner at the Hotel Commander. With the announcement of our new commanding officers and with speeches of encouragement and new hope, a perfect day was concluded. [26]
